FLML’s price has taken a nose-dive recently. There are some valid reasons, though.
Their only profit generating drug is Coreg CR, a heart failure compound marketed by GlaxoSmithKline. Unfortunately for Flamel, Glaxo has been in some serious trouble over its Avandia medication, causing them to divert salespeople who should have been selling Coreg CR [...]

I’ve made two more purchases- Loop.net, which is kind of like an “eBay of real estate”, and more shares of Buffalo Wings. Both purchases were due to the stock prices falling below limits I had set last week.

Whenever the stock market takes a hit, some people (and lolcats) act like the SKY IS FALLING. As scary as a drop like this seems, it’s a good thing for the vast majority of us. For people who are retired and living off of their investments, or those who need to sell them [...]

As I’ve written elsewhere, my investment choices are based only upon my estimation of each company’s financial prospects. I try not buy stock in companies because they’re “cool”, because I support what they do, or other reason external to their business prospects. I’m also limited by what I know. If I don’t [...]

Harris & Harris (Nasdaq: TINY) is a publicly traded venture capital firm. Normally, I would prefer to invest directly in individual companies, rather than a venture capital firm, but this case is special.

During college, I must have eaten hundreds of their large, organic burritos, stuffed with rice, cheese, grilled meats [...]

I bought some Ctrip(携程旅行网) stock for my IRA earlier this year, but I hadn’t bought any for my normal portfolio until today. I just picked up 100 shares. Here’s why:
Ctrip is the leading online travel broker in China. It doesn’t have any real competition in sight. Better yet, it’s in a [...]

After today’s Q4 2005 Earnings Conference Call, Shanda 盛大’s stock shedded nearly a quarter of its value. The amazing thing is, there really weren’t any surprises in the conference call. Sure, there were some one time expenses related to acquisitions, but nothing to justify this. I had been planning on investing in [...]

I’m still waiting on a bonus I expected at work, so I haven’t been able to do as much investing as I had planned. I have been able to set aside enough to make a purchase, though. I picked up 130 more shares of Shanda (盛大).
Earlier I said I’d had my eye on [...]
